A
young lottery winner has been murdered during a robbery at his home.
Craigory
Burch Jr, 20, scooped almost half a million dollars in the Georgia state
lottery Fatasy5 draw in November.
On
Thursday night, armed raiders broken into Burch's home, where he was with his
girlfriend and children, WALB reported.
The
three masked robbers burst into the property and held Burch at gunpoint and
demanded his wallet, girlfriend Jasmine Hendricks said.
She
told the local station: "When they came in, he said, 'don't do it bro.
Don't do it in front of my kids. Please don't do it in front of my kids and old
lady'.
"He
said I'll give you my bank card."
Burch
is then believed to have thrown his trousers at the gunmen, who rummaged
through the pockets looking for his wallet.
When
they failed to find it, they reportedly shot and killed him before fleeing.
Hendricks
fled and raised the alarm, she told the station.
Police
are still hunting the suspect.
Burch
scooped the $434,272 (£305,000) jackpot after buying the winning ticket from a
petrol station on November 29.
His
family said he used the money to buy Christmas presents for those in need.
